As a former journalist, I'm all for protecting my sources. Considering that this is from the New York Post though ("BAG MEN" headline, anyone?), I would suspect their motives lie elsewhere.

I understand and respect the tradition of protecting sources, but if you're going to turn somebody's life upside down in order to yell "First, bitchez!" it strikes me that a responsible person would be prepared to back up his story with something firmer that "a guy I know told me. He's toads legit." Anonymous sources are for holding the feet of the powerful to the fire, not to **** up a security guard's life forever.

Sunil Tripathi's body has been found, the Providence Journal reports. The Brown University student had been falsely identified as a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings on Twitter and on Reddit.

Rhode Island Health Department spokesperson Dara Chadwick confirmed the identification to Poynter in a phone call: We can confirm that the young man found is 22 year old Sunil Tripathi, Chadwick said. It was confirmed through a forensic dental examination. I don't have cause of death at this time.

He'd last been seen March 15th. His body was found in the waters off Providence.
